Ruth E. Carter Makes History

When "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" costume designer Ruth E. Carter won the Oscar for best costume design, she not only made a great Oscars moment with a touching tribute to her late mother (and to the late Chadwick Boseman) but also made Oscars history. She became the first Black woman to win multiple Oscars, having won her first one for the first "Black Panther."

"Thank you to the Academy for recognising the superhero that is a Black woman. She endures, she loves, she overcomes. She is every woman in this film," Carter said in her acceptance speech.
